ArtCohort {gems}

Class "ArtCohort"

Description

Is a S4 class for the artificial cohort generated by simulateCohort.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'ArtCohort,ANY,ANY,ANY'
x[i, j, ..., drop = TRUE]

## S4 method for signature 'ArtCohort'
update(object, newsize, addbaseline = matrix(NA, nrow =
  newsize - object@size), newInitialStates = rep(1, newsize - object@size))

## S4 method for signature 'ArtCohort'
head(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ArtCohort'
tail(x, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'ArtCohort'
summary(object)
